I've always wanted to try reformer Pilates but never found the time. Imagine my surprise when I saw…read morea sign for Pilates No Ka Oi, right across the street from Schofield Barracks. After retiring from the military, I wasn't really working out anymore and wanted something that would help strengthen my core without being too hard on my joints. I signed up for the beginner package and had three one-hour sessions with Ana. Every review I read (with the exception of Michael M- which I think is a fake review) about her and the studio was absolutely accurate. She's an amazing Pilates instructor and just a genuinely kind person with great energy. You can tell she's passionate about what she does, and she took the time to teach me the proper techniques instead of rushing through the workouts. The pricing is fair, and I really appreciated the smaller, more personal feel of the studio. It's by far a better experience than what you'd find at a national chain Pilates studio. You never feel like just another client. I have been moving so haven't had the chance to go back, but once I'm settled in my new place I will go back consistently. If you've been thinking about trying reformer Pilates, I highly recommend Pilates No Ka Oi!!!

I've had 7 private sessions with Ana so far and have enjoyed all of them. I was completely new to…read morePilates and Ana did a wonderful job in explaining the fundamentals of the movements and the importance of the proper breathing so that I could follow her instructions and feel the positive effects of a great workout! I feel like my joints are less sore and when I get out of bed in the morning my ankles don't make a clicking sound anymore! I can tell that my core is strengthening and my flexibility is improving. Ana is also teaching me body rolling exercises which I really love! I plan to keep working with Ana and will try some of her classes as well as, continue with private sessions. I know I'm on my way to a healthier stronger body! I highly recommend Ana and Pilates No Ka Oi!

As an avid weight lifter and golfer, I often found struggle between the two…read more I'm no bodybuilder, but I do enjoy weight lifting. However unfortunately my training regiment as far as I knew was an hindrance towards my golf game, but at the same time I enjoyed golfing and was not planning on to give that up either. I was slowly coming to the realization that I would unfortunately have to give up weight lifting if I wanted to pursue my passion of developing my golf game. A friend who was widely aware of my conundrum referred me to Earl, a trainer with a weight lifting background who just happened to specialize in golf fitness. I called him up and knew right away Earl would help me attain my goals. This was because he could relate to my mindset considering he was once a competitive lifter. Earl took the time to analyze what I was currently doing during my weight lifting sessions. From there, instead of changing my usual workout regiment, he found ways of incorporating more flexibility and explosion motions that would help toward my golf game. It was his ability to listen, relate, and attune to my issues that helped me realized that I didn't have to give up my joy of weight lifting for golf, and in fact, that there was a lot of correlation between the two. I am so blessed to have found him as a trainer and even more blessed to call him a friend. I would recommend anyone interested in general fitness or more specifically golf fitness to him in a heart beat.

Fantastic personal trainer who will transform your body and strength! He will tailor each workout…read moresession to challenge you but to also take into account your energy level for the session and ability. I have gone into a session feeling tired or unmotivated, and come out of it energized and focused! Don't know how he does it, but it keeps me coming back for more, even on the days when I feel I can't do it. His knowledge of the body is amazing. Because he has worked with physical therapy, he can suggest different movements and stretches to alleviate any muscle twinges or pains I may be feeling before a training. He also does an assisted stretch to help lengthen muscles and increase range of motion for tight muscles and tendons. I can't recommend Earl enough. He is a cool guy, very intuitive, and if you want fun sessions with body and strength results, go see him!

From the outset, I made it quite clear what my consistency (or lack thereof) and training…read more"schedule" would be able to be - it was still the pandemic recovery period / I was in the middle of secretly working on my master's degree / full time job / part time job - and Coach John did not at all judge me for it. Zero. Complete support and encouragement even if I skipped reps that week or only put in 5 literal minutes of training. Since 2019, I followed others on Instagram and noticed a trend of folks posting really cool handstands and that several of them tagged John. Intrigued, in 2021, I finally asked Sean (now Coach Sean) who this mysterious person was. Oh, what I didn't realize was the rabbit hole that handstands are. I've been [very sporadically] attempting to nail my handstand since 2015 and let's just say I had a complete mental block on it, as well as some physical limitations. Other fitness instructors I've had has taken more of a conventional/traditional approach to trying to teach me, but alas, this was not something I could keep up on. I had plateaued and desperately needed someone who could meet me on my level and address very specific issues. Now, is learning to handstand a NEED? I guess not and some people have curiously inquired as to why I'm doing this as a full-fledged adult who presumably will never need this skill in my life (since I'm not a circus artist). Let me tell you my bucket list goal - HANDSTANDS AROUND THE WORLD WHEN I TRAVEL! Yes, I mean it. Who is going to help me get there? JOHN WILL!!! John has extensive knowledge and a depth of understanding of body mechanics and movement intelligence. He's also 500% patient with every single person that joins his trusty crew of awesome movers! I absolutely cannot recommend anyone else other than John to see you through your movement and handstand journey. Other reviews have mentioned how he creates highly personalized and individual programs for each person - this is right. I must confess I work better with only one or two intentions per month so while I blithely throw his program to the wind, I really do still try to "do the homework" and focus on my small steps to progress. Words cannot express how grateful I am to have met John. If you've been waiting for a sign to learn handstands, THIS IS IT so please contact John right away!
